August 8, 2008 ROAD TO REDEMPTION Hulk Hogan, First of all this is not a threat but merely a challenge and an opportunity to begin to redeem yourself and your reputation! My name is Tako, family man, and friend to many. I am nowhere as famous as yourself, the icon and hero to so many young and old. But nonetheless, I am well respected to those who know me, never once putting myself before others and always being considerate of all, while raising my children with the same values. Your son Nick, was convicted of driving drunk with his best friend John Graziano as a passenger on August 26, 2007. He wrecked your car leaving John Graziano in a coma. During your jail visit with Nick, he cried to you that he can’t take it anymore. Instead of telling him to "man up" and remind him that after his 8 month sentence, he will be walking out on his own two feet, you proceeded to kiss his ass and make references to Nick that John "made his own bed and has to sleep in it. " Meanwhile, John is more than likely sentenced to spend the rest of his life in a coma and if he does recover, chances are he will have massive brain damage and other neurological problems. Lets not forget what his family is living with every day while their son lay comatose. The tapes released by the prison and heard by the public brought embarrassment and humiliation to your name and reputation. You have disgraced yourself with your comments to me and many others, both young and old, and who looked up to you, including my twelve year-old son. Now to the point. I will challenge you to a cage match (not WWE style (scripted)). Rather I challenge you to a UFC style (reality match) fight. I am not a professional fighter, nor did I ever claim to be. I am merely a man of principal, respect and honor. I am 5 ft 11 inches tall and weigh 240 pounds, much smaller and lighter than yourself. Perhaps I may be a bit more crazy than a normal person in asking for this match given your superior size and experience in the ring . If you accept this challenge, I will give you and I two months to get ready for this fight. More importantly it will us time to promote this from the day it is signed. Meanwhile, the proceeds from this event will be arranged to go to John Graziano’s family for past, present, and future medical bills. I will allow you to pick the venue if you wish and I am sure between all the people you know this could generate a great deal of money and corporate interest for this event and its charitable intentions. This will be an opportunity for you to begin to redeem yourself and clear your name of any wrongdoing for your negligent and irresponsible comments. I will go one step further and donate for raffle a custom Sickasso pro street chopper if I lose. However, here is the catch: if you loose, you are to purchase the bike at cost and donate it for raffle towards John Graziano’s medical expenses. As I see it, this can make you look like the hero you claim to be, and do something good for a young man and his family whose life has been destroyed by your son’s recklessness. Of course we will have our attorneys draft all the proper documents, which will include mutual releases of liability for both of us. This is the opportunity to have the most meaningful event of your career. I will anxiously await your reply. Tako Sickasso Cycle Creations. Cell 954-214-1710 P.S. Copies of the taped video in front of your South Beach home will be distributed to numerous news stations, radio stations, WWE, UFC and You Tube. Click here to view video. LETS SEE IF YOU "MAN UP" OR "IF THE APPLE DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE"
